UNI-Thread 6/0 is a 136-denier continuous-filament polyester thread built for everyday fly tying. It provides more strength than 8/0 without the bulk of heavier threads, making it a versatile choice for dry flies, nymphs, wet flies, and small to medium streamers.
Its thin waxed finish improves material control while helping the thread lay flat and build clean, compact bodies and heads.

UNI-Thread 8/0 is versatile for flies 10 through 18, with large assortment of vibrant colors. You can uncord it for wrapping smooth, tapered bodies, or spin it tight for holding down thick material. (I use UNI for my soft hackle bodies, as they are not as easily destroyed by trout teeth as floss.) Thanks, Feathercraft!
